For maintenance requiring coordination between multiple sites, see Category:Global maintenance: this includes requests to Stewards and authorized staff of the Wikimedia Foundation operating the servers to bring them online, and maintainers of Wikimedia mailing lists, or the MassMessage tool.

There may also be subcategories for generic maintenance issues independent of sites themselves, or for specific sites whose maintenance is tracked and discussed on Meta-Wiki (including maintenance of translations and other issues related to the public content of the restricted Foundation site), or for other local user group projects currently hosted by Meta-Wiki, as well as fighting against various abuses (including spam) affecting multiple projects and requiring a global action, and the general maintenance of little wiki projects with too few active local administrators.
